A bold way to look at your health.

The Health app makes it easy to learn about your health and start reaching your goals. It consolidates health data from iPhone, Apple Watch, and third-party apps you already use, so you can view all your progress in one convenient place. And it recommends other helpful apps to round out your collection — making it simpler than ever to move your health forward.

Four keys to a healthy life. Right at your fingertips.

The Health app highlights four categories: Activity, Sleep, Mindfulness, and Nutrition. Each plays an important role in your overall health — and in the app. Health suggests great apps from each category to get you going, and the Today view shows all your stats at a glance to help you stay on track. Once you start using the Health app, there’s no stopping you.

Activity

The Health app keeps you motivated by showing you how much you move. It combines activity data from iPhone — like your steps and distance traveled — with metrics from third-party fitness apps. And Apple Watch automatically records simple but meaningful kinds of movement, like how often you stand, how much you exercise, and your all-day calorie burn.

Sleep

Getting a good night’s sleep helps restore and repair your body. So going to bed at the same time every night and getting the right amount of rest can improve how you feel. Whether it’s the Bedtime feature in the Clock app or a third-party sleep accessory, it feeds information into Health so you can get into a healthier sleep routine.

Mindfulness

Finding a moment to take a few deep breaths and quiet your mind is a great way to relieve stress and improve your overall health. That’s what mindfulness is all about. The Breathe app on Apple Watch and many other third-party experiences help you decompress and stay centered throughout your day. Whichever apps you choose, Health adds up the numbers to show you how much time you’ve spent being mindful.

Nutrition

Whether you’re counting carbs, calories, caffeine, or a host of other important nutritional metrics, the Health app makes it easier to manage your goals and watch exactly what you eat. Third-party apps can help you keep a closer eye on every meal, and since all the data is displayed in Health, you’ll always know if you’re getting the nourishment you need.

Track other important data, too.

Health makes it easy to keep tabs on a wide array of data that matters to you — from measurements of your blood pressure and blood glucose to records for your weight and reproductive health.

You are in charge of your data.

The Health app lets you keep all your health and fitness information under your control and in one place on your device. You decide which information is placed in Health and which apps can access your data through the Health app. When your phone is locked with a passcode or Touch ID, all of your health and fitness data in the Health app - other than Medical ID - is encrypted with your passcode. Your health data stays up to date across all your devices automatically using iCloud where it is encrypted while in transit and at rest. Apps that access HealthKit are required to have a privacy policy, so be sure to review these policies before providing apps with access to your health and fitness data.

ResearchKit is a powerful tool that helps medical researchers gather health data from many iPhone users. You can take part and allow your data to be used in meaningful studies. And CareKit helps you take an active role in managing your own health, giving you tools to track things like your symptoms and medications, then share that information with your care team.
